- unexpected alarms and low voltage on the emergency busses, the plant staff did not initiate a deficiency report as required by their procedures (the second violation) and timely corrective actions were not taken to ensure that the lack of controls which allowed the performance of the URAL test were correcte A maintenance truck struck + building inside the switchyard (paragraph 3.e).
The licensee had taken previous corrective action to control access to the switchyard, which included notifying the main control room prior to entering, ,
The licensee enhanced the_ access controls to consider the emergency diesel generators status prior to allowing trucks into the switchyard. The licensee's actions in response to this event, as well as a pinned spring support (paragraph 5.c), and to a small fire on a reactor makeup water transfer pump (paragraph 3.c) was goo i A surveillance test procedure was performed which had an excessive amount of revisions. The revisions resulted in a procedure that did not readily provide a clear and usable format (paragraph 4 a).

requirements. It-also-was to ensure that the-licensee's management i control systems were effectively-promoting continued safe operation. The methods used to perform this inspection included direct observation _of-activities and equipment, tours of the facility, interviews'and discussions with licensee personnel, independent verification of safety system status and limiting conditions for operation (LCOs), review of a corrective actions, and review of facility record l t
Areas reviewed during this inspection included, but were not limited to, control room activities, routine surveillances, engineered safety feature q
'
operability, radiation protection. controls, fire protection, security,. #
plant cleanliness, instrumentation and: alarms, deficiency reports, and 3 corrective actions. Selected inspector observations are_ discussed below:' l On August 3, 1990, the licensee identified that a testable'checkvalve t in the auxiliary feedwater (AFW) system was prevented from fully opening by scaffolding which had been erected in.the area. The ;
checkvalve was located in the turbine ' driven AFW pump (TDAFWP)
suction line from the condensate storage tank. The extension arm on the testable checkvalve was restricted from movcment .to the full cpen i position by the scaffolding. This limited the checkvalve movement '
to approximately 24 percent of full ope i After learning of this occurrence, the1 inspectors began a walkdown of other areas where scaffolding-was present, The_ inspectors discovered an instance where scaffolding had the potential of blocking the movement of a local sample isolation ve1ve for the safety injection-pump miniflow header. A ccmplete walkdown of the remaining scaffolding was then per formed by the inspector and results engineering personnel. A third instance was identified where j scaffolding could potentially interfere'with a manually operated 3
,
'
valve. The licensee-immediately removed the scaffolding from around l the TDAFWP suction line, and reoriented the' scaffolding around the j manual valves.
l l The licensee's program for control of scaffolding relied upon the
'
scaffold crew to recognize and avoid potential: equipment-interferences. The licensee issued Licensee Event-Report (LER)90-018, " Technical Specification Violation-Improper Scaffold Installation Causes Inoperability of Turbine Driven Auxiliary Feedwater Pump," on September 4,1990. The LER stated that the TDAFWP had been 1eperabl e from; July 25 to August 3, 1990, as a
.
result of the interfemance with the suction checkvalve. The Technical Specification (TS) Action Statement, TS 3.7.1.2,. allowed '
the TOAFWP to be inoperable up tc 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> without-requiring a p'ent shutdown provided all the action statement requirements are met. The NRC staff questioned the operability analysis provided in the LE In particular, the staff questioned whether adequate net positive suction head (NPSH) may have actually existed. The. licensee
.
"
performed an analysis of the NPSH requirement for the TDAFWP and ;
whether the checkvalve opening to 24 percent would would meet the !

-5- l NPSH requirement, The licensee found that adequate NPSH existed for .
condensate storage tank (CST) levels down to 2 feet above the bottom i of the tank. The plant control systems were set to automatically shift the TDAFWP1 suction from the CST to the essential service water i system when the CST level reaches about 6.5 feet above the bottom of the tank. The licensee stated that they would revise the LER to ,
include the additional informatio '
In this instance, the safety significance of the scaffolding interferences were minor but demonstrated the potential for rendering-safety-related equipment inoperable. During discussions with the
' licensee about their corrective action, the inspectors expressed concern that the scaffold crew and their supervisor did not appear to: 4 recognize the safety significance and operating characteristics of the various systems and components in the plant.where they install !
scaffold. The licensee stated that they would provide additional: :
training for personnel that perform-scaffold inspection duties. The i inspectors will review the licensee's corrective actions and the !
revised LER during a subsequent inspectio ! On August 16, 1990, at about 10:21 a.m. CDT, a small fire was discovered in the "A" reactor makeup water transfer pump, Operators had previously found.that the breaker for the pump motor had trippe Workers noticed smoke in the auxiliary building =and a fire alarm was "
received in the control room. The fire-brigade was dispatched-to the pum One fire brigada member, who was working near the= area, .
noticed oil leaking down the pump shaft and a small flame beginning to form at the base of the vertical pump motor. He'promptly extinguished the fire with dry chemical. The licensee found that the- -
pump had a seized bearing and a bad phase in the motor windings. The ;
l motor bearings had been replaced during the preceding night. .There- i
- was no adverse radiological consequence because of the fire.. The >
} fire was contained to a small area and no' noticeable' smoke' damage
! occurred. The licensee planned to replace the reactor makeup water j transfer pump 1 assemblies with different type pumpCdue to continuing ;

'
problems with the bearings. The licensee's response to the fire was j goo < On August 24, 1990, the inspector reviewed a Defect / Deficiency Report '

violated their approved procedures by not performing the test . .
in accordance with a reviewed and approved procedure as required by TS 6.8.1. There was no apparent review to determine that the test ,
did not pres'ent an unreviewed safety question or its potential..to !
affect safety related equipment. The test was performed using an -
unapproved postmaintenance test instruction that;was given in Work l Request (WR) 01379-8 The inspector _noted that the WR did~not ,
identify limitations on the generator output voltage adjustment, the q possibility of creating an actual undervoltage condition,~or that a main generator trip-could occu The licensee has initiated corrective action to place all work on'
equipment in service-under procedural control. These corrective actions were initiated' following the inspectors inquiries into,the event. The inspector did note that the corrective e ion for the QA )
finding was scheduled by the licensee to be completed by December 31r '
1990. The NRC staff concurs with the~QA engineer's finding that the'-
i the test was not conducted in accordance with a properly reviewed and l approved procedure which would have included a review to determine
_
l the affect of the test on' safety related' equipment and the potential ,
! for an unviewed safety' questio This is a violation of TS 6.8.1 .
(482/9031-01). The enforcement criteria specified-in.Section V.A of ,
the Enforcement Policy was reviewed for consideration as 'a noncited violation The staff-found that the licensee;had-not-promptly identified the event, nor had the scope of the event _been evaluated.
E Therefore, this will remain a cited violatio The inspector reviewed the licensee's corrective action program to-determine what prog *ammatic controls should have resulted in the event being identified for'further evaluation. The' licensee's approved Procedura KGP-1210, Revision 3, " Programmatic Deficiency Reporting," required that a programmatic deficiency report be-initiated for a significant condition adverse to quality that 1 i

apparent violation (482/9031-02).. The licensee also has other means.
! of bringing to management attention an event of this type that may 1
'
have been appropriate, but none was use The inspector reviewed the licensee's corrective' actions for this event. It was noted that the licensee's management'did-not discuss ,
the event with the control room crews until after the management meeting with the NRC staff. This was approximately 3. weeks after the inspector began inquiring about the event. The discussions that were held with the operators involved the need to be fully cognizant of all ongoing work, the potential impact and consequences of the work, and to stop or prevent activities which involve potentially unacceptable safety risks. The licensee's failure to promptly ;
implement corrective action to ensure-that the operating crews properly controlled testiry activities is a further example of the ,
above cited violation (482/9031-02). j On September 11', 1990,' a management meeting was held _with-the licensee in the NRC Region IV; office. At the meeting, the_ event, '
root cause, and corrective actions were' discusse The licensee -
representatives at'the meeting'were not adequately informed about the meaning and significance of certain control-room alarms as listed by j the control room alarm printer.- As a result, the perception of~the NRC staff present .at the meeting was that the voltage sensed on the safety busses and throughout the plant were not as low as?was the
~
actual case. The staff's perception following the meeting was that -
the voltage decreased to 90 percent'of normal voltage. However, voltage actually decreased to approximately:70 percent of normal voltage. After additional questions by the inspector following'the meeting, the licensee clarified the :information provided to-the staff

during a teleconference on' September 14, 199 The licensee's self-assessment of the URAL event was weak. The event was identified by a licensee QA auditor during an audit of " Vendor Work-Plans." The sensitivity demonstrated by^the auditor in identifying the 10 CFR 50.59 was excellent. However, the.11censee's self-assessment in dealing with this significant event,'once identified, was weak. Licensee efforts appeared to be directed toward the original QA audit finding rather than expanding-self-assessment e narts to include the areas identified in the-apparent violati I On August 9, 1990, a plant' safety-review committee (PSRC) meeting was attended by.the inspector. A quorum of committee members was-present. The information covered at the meeting had been distributed <
July 30, 1990, to allow ample time'for review by the-committee members. prior to the meeting. 'All items brought before the committee ,

However, the NRC staff noted the PSRC review of LER 90-018, for the restricted checkvalve, should have ensured that an appropriate-operability determination had been made and that the LER text clearly.'
supported their assessmen On August 27, 1990, the-shift supervisor discovered .that workers were I pumping water from the turbine building oily waste sump to storm drains bypassing radiation monitors. .This was promptly' stopped by the shift superviso The operation of the temporary pumping method was to allow repairs to the.line normally used to pump down the oily waste sump, which is radiologically monitored. This was an example of lack of communication and control of planned maintenance activity with the control room. The amount released was estimated by the-licensee to be less than 100 gallons with activity levels well below NRC limits. This determination was based on a: sample;of the sump by '
chemistry technicians immediately following .the' event. The licensee planned to submit an LER on this event. The staff is reviewing the recent' problems concerning work control in the' aggregate. . .The evaluation of the licensee's corrective actions to this specific event will be. reviewed and the findings discussed in a future inspection repor ',

Kansas Gas and Electric boom truck struck a building inside the owner '
contr 11ed area 345 KV switchyard. Workers were backing the; truck -
out from around a building in the switchyard following maintenance on

a nearby breaker. The truck dented the. steel. building near the. roof'

in a corner of the building. Damage to;the corner was apparent from inside the. building. The batteries used'for backup control = power to the switch gear were located near the' damaged corner of the; building.
The batteries were not damaged. No damage occurred to.any outside

licensee, Wolf Creek Nuclear-Operating Corporation, controls and also-has routine access to the switchyard 'And performs some switchyard H
, operations when directed by the owner. At the time of the event, one diesel generator was out of service for maintenance.. The licensee has' reminded the control room operators to be sensitive to the maintenance activities- taking place. in the switchyard.-- The licensee's corrective actions included requiring personnel to notif the control room prior to taking a truck into the switchyard, and -
that access to the switchyard will be restricted when a diesel generator is out of servic ,

The five attached changes and revisions to the procedure made it difficult to ensure that the proper steps were being performed. -The date of the last total rewrite of the procedure was July 6,1990, and ,
the procedure was performed on August 6, 199 L
.i The operations staff had to expend additional time to evaluate what !
steps were to be performed based on an approved procedure with five l changes attached, It was the observation of the inspector that the l procedural rewrites increased the potential for missing steps withi ,
the procedure or for performing the incorrect step, On August 20, 1990, operators took the "B" emergency diesel generator out of service for maintenance. They failed to-perform:STS NB-005 within the TS 4.8.1.1;1 and -4;8.3.1-required 1-hour time limi They recognized their error and performed the surveillance 5 minute late. . The licensee planned to submit an LER on this event. The ;
inspectors will review the LER and report any fi.ndings in a subsequent report.'
l The revisions made to the surveillance precedure were not indicative of the licensee's established program. In this case, the procedure should not have been performed until the surveillance test prw edure was prepared '
in a format that would have reduced-.the potentialt for missing steps or performing the wrong steps. The one failure to perform a surveillance test on time was the. result of an individual's inattention-to detail and did not appear to a programmatic problem. Actual performance of.the '
procedures appeared adeqJate. The licensee staff appeared knowledgeable of the tasks that they performe . Monthly Maintenane.e Observation (62703)

The inspection of the motor-driven-AFW' Pump "A" was performed under WR 50250-90. There were no problems noted in the performance of_ this ,
WR, The'WR did have a box checked that a . radiation work permit (RWP)
was required. The worker had annotatediin the blo'ck for RWP No, thtt step as N/A. No RWP was actually required for the work-activity and'
did not af fect the performance of' the 'WR. 'Two. other.
